Fighting child Abuse

Hello my name is Samantha Gerhardt I am a disabled veteran who is starting a fundraiser for my grandson Roman. Roman is 7 years old and recovering from sexual and physical abuse by his mother and step father. For the past 4 years Roman's father (my son n law) and my daughter have been battling to gain custody of my grandson. On May of this year my grandson was removed from the custody of his biological mother and placed back in the custody of my daughter and his gather when Missouri law enforcement traced child pornography to Roman's mother and step father. 

My grandson has been emotionally and physically, sexually abused for 4 years. When he was removed he had no bed, clean clothing, shoes or anything. It has been a financial strain on the family as we have all tried to get him everything he needs. His behavioral therapy and court fees have drained his parents and it hurts that I can not help them more.

So I have started this fundraiser to try and help Roman and the family pay for therapy sessions, lawyer costs and the cost the overwhelming medical bills that are all piling up on the family.
